Isn't Lettow- Vorbeck the answer for your third question as well? 25 November 1918, German East-Africa, I would say. At least I'm not aware of any other German forces that gave up after the armistice of 11 November.

However I have no idea about your first question, despite having read some Venetian history last year.
